Packaging tips for Ecommerce products
Therefore it is important that you take the time and invest money to properly pack an order before delivering it to a shipping company. If you do this correctly, you can save your business money on returns and refunds.
Think about your products
As a general rule, the packaging you use, bag or box, must withstand a fall of approximately 1 m. The products you sell and ship determine how carefully they must be packaged to withstand a one meter drop.
Choose materials carefully
Keep in mind that polyester bags, which are durable, water resistant, and unlikely to tear, are sufficient for packing soft items that are not fragile. Clothes, stuffed animals, sheets or similar products can be sent packed in these bags. For almost everything else, the use of a double-walled corrugated box is recommended. These types of boxes are strong and light, so they are ideal for packaging in Ecommerce.
Single box packing
Single box packaging is the most common approach for most ecommerce orders that are not fragile. Simply wrap the items in cushion padding or place the products in loose padding.

For the most fragile products, double box packaging is the most suitable option. It is true that this type of packaging adds an additional expense in terms of actual weight and dimensions. But if the products are kept safe and arrive intact at their destination, you will have happy customers and probably willing to buy again.
